I recently participated in a half-day of debates at the European Parliament in Brussels.

There was plenty of talk about infrastructural investments, funding, and equal access across markets, butthere was a piece missing from the discussion: a solid plan for dealing with the human aspect of digital transformation

In selecting your provider of Technology Executive Search and Assessment services, does your company apply the same criteria as it does for all of its other procurement activities or does it have specific criteria that address the rapidly evolving Technology sector?

Often the process of getting the right people employed into the right jobs at the right time to achieve operational objectives has lagged behind because the yearly budget process gets finalized too late.

It has become a common misconception that the advent of Social Networks such as LinkedIn and Facebook has eliminated or reduced the need for professional Executive Search services.

Staying on top of technology is the only way that the vast pools of information that the Internet and Social Networks provide can be rendered coherent and useful in the search for leadership candidates.

In a world changing at an ever faster pace companies have to be ready to transform and adjust rapidly. Whatever technological innovations are ahead, it’s the people that will make the difference between eventual success and failure.
